Eric Bruce, a proud BOSS owner for over 15 years lives in Wawa, Ontario Canada, located on the northeast corner of Lake Superior. Eric first purchased a plow to take care of the parking lot of the motel he owned and looked for a couple of additional plowing contracts to justify the purchase of a new plow and truck.  Quickly, other people saw Eric plowing and his few parking lots grew to 5 or 6 parking lots and anywhere from 30-40 driveways resulting in Eric Bruce Enterprises. 

 

Bruce has been a loyal BOSS owner since the beginning of his days snowplowing. The first plow he ever owned was bought in 1999 and was sold in 2005. Bruce explains that his very first plow is still being used by its new owner. Today, Bruce plows with his Ford F 250 with a BOSS V plow on the front. It is his third BOSS plow and he doesn’t plan on switching. BOSS has been always been there to back him up. His favorite feature is the plow’s ability to stack snow during the severe winters that blow through Ontario, Canada. On average, Bruce plows 30-35 snow events each winter 150 inches of snow falls cumulatively.  Bruce recalls his toughest snowplowing job about five years ago when 27 inches of snow fell in just twelve hours!
